Abstract

This paper addresses several questions concerning the design of Permendagri No.9/1982. How can regulation and community participation principles be linked in such provisions? What is the actual extent of community participation required in the regulation? The study finds that the provisions of community participation in the Permendagri No.9/1982 did not give a chance for the community to have determinant power in urban infrastructure development planning. The participation representative model used in the regulation can be deemed appropriate due to technical capability issues of infrastructure development planning and the fact that Indonesia had strong paternalistic culture during that period. However, the model did not enable the community’s aspirations and needs to be considered properly due to the absence of the elected leaders(heads of the Neighborhood Unit) in the decision-making process. Keywords: Community involvement, urban infrastructure, regulations.
